Free Music Review: The Definitive "Pines Of Rome"
Hit: 4 Stars
I concur will all the reviewers who said this is one of the best "Pines of Rome" available. It still is yes. I never heard the third movement "Pines of the Janiculum" sound so fresh. "Fountains of Rome" also receives a great reading from the Reiner and the CSO. I'm withholding a star primarily for the mediocre reading of Debussy's "La Mer." I'm afraid this piece has been bettered many times since this recording. Boulez, Martinon, Tortelier, and Dutoit own this composition as far as I'm concerned and I haven't heard it bettered by any other conductor.
I would say that if you want to hear an outstanding "Pines of Rome" and "Fountians of Rome," then you will find very little to complain about with this superlative recording.
Note: I have not heard the SACD layer of this recording, but the CD layer sounds fantastic.
Free Music Review: some microphone hiss but still worth the purchase
Hit: 3 Stars
Nice music and nice 3D sound but some microphone hiss at very high volume. It ould be good if more current recordings from 2009 were available for SACD rather than music that was rrecorded in the 70s and remastered. Still worth the purchase.
